SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings 

and all instructions.

 Failure to follow the 

warnings and instructions may result in electric 

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future 

reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your 

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-

operated (cordless) power tool.

1.  WORK AREA SAFETY

a)  Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered 

or dark areas invite accidents.

b)   Do not operate power tools in explosive 

atmospheres, such as in the presence of 

flammable liquids, gases or dust.

 Power 

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust 

or fumes.

c)   Keep children and bystanders away while 

operating a power tool. 

Distractions can 

cause you to lose control.

2.  ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a)   Power tool plugs must match the outlet. 

Never modify the plug in any way. Do 

not use any adapter plugs with earthed 

(grounded) power tools.

 Unmodified plugs 

and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric 

shock.

b)   Avoid body contact with earthed or 

grounded surfaces, such as pipes, 

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. 

There 

is an increased risk of electric shock if your 

body is earthed or grounded.

c)   Do not expose power tools to rain or wet 

conditions.

 Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock.

d)   Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord 

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the 

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, 

sharp edges or moving parts.

 Damaged or 

entangled cords increase the risk of electric 

shock.

e)   When operating a power tool outdoors, 

use an extension cord suitable for outdoor 

use.

 Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use 

reduces the risk of electric shock. 

f)  If operating a power tool in a damp 

location is unavoidable, use a residual 

current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric 

shock. 

3.  PERSONAL SAFETY

a)   Stay alert, watch what you are doing and 

use common sense when operating a 

power tool. Do not use a power tool while 

you are tired or under the influence of 

drugs, alcohol or medication.

 A moment of 

inattention while operating power tools may 

result in serious personal injury. 

b)  Use personal protective equipment. 

Always wear eye protection.

 Protective 

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety 

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for 

appropriate conditions will reduce personal 

injuries. 

c)   Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure 

the switch is in the off-position before 

connecting to power source and/or 

battery pack, picking up or carrying the 

tool. 

Carrying power tools with your finger on 

the switch or energising power tools that have 

the switch on invites accidents. 

d)   Remove any adjusting key or wrench 

before turning the power tool on. 

A wrench 

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the 

power tool may result in personal injury. 

e)   Do not overreach. Keep proper footing 

and balance at all times.

 This enables 

better control of the power tool in unexpected 

situations. 

f)  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing 

or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and 

gloves away from moving parts.

 Loose 

clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in 

moving parts.

g)   If devices are provided for the connection 

of dust extraction and collection facilities, 

ensure these are connected and properly 

used.

 Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

4.  POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a)   Do not force the power tool. Use the 

correct power tool for your application.
